History
On February 7, 1925, the Bugatti Type 23, identified by its chassis number 2386, departed from Molsheim and was one among the five Type 23 models that were delivered to the esteemed London-based agent Chas. Jarrot & Letts Ltd., situated at 40 Conduit Street, London, W1.
Out of the five cars bearing the numbers 2383 to 2387, only three have managed to stand the test of time. Remarkably, the Bugatti Type 23 with chassis number 2386, featuring the iconic 16-valve engine, is one of the fortunate survivors. Notably, the Brescia T23 holds the distinction of being the very first full production multivalve engine car ever manufactured, adding to its esteemed status in automotive history.
Exterior
This charming car is truly a gem, with the added advantage of being a 4-seater. The rear seats are cleverly covered by a snap-on tonneau cover when not in use, adding to its versatility. The paintwork is a tasteful burgundy over black, and it is in excellent condition.
Additionally, a hood can be easily snapped onto a frame that mounts to the top of the windscreen, providing protection during wet weather. This car is not only stylish, but also practical and well-equipped for various driving conditions.
Interior
The interior is adorned with tobacco-coloured leather throughout, oozing an air of sophistication. The dashboard features machine-turned aluminium, boasting the classic Jaeger and Bugatti gauges.
Mechanically
Under the bonnet, the engine of this car is meticulously detailed and tidy, showcasing the care and attention it has received. Extensive work has been done, including a top end rebuild and a new cylinder block, indicating the level of restoration and maintenance it has undergone. The bottom end of the engine was also rebuilt separately by a marque specialist, Ivan Dutton, ensuring its reliability and performance. The radiator has been renewed by Anglia Radiators, further enhancing the car's mechanical integrity. Notably, the clutch has been converted from wet to dry, with the original parts retained with the car, a testament to the meticulousness of the restoration work. This car has been well taken care of, with significant investments made to ensure its mechanical excellence and reliability on the road.
Documents & family fun
The car comes with a comprehensive history file that includes detailed documentation of the works undertaken, showcasing the meticulous care and attention it has received over the years. The file also contains a wealth of correspondence from former owners, providing valuable insights into the car's past. Additionally, there are several period pictures of the car at different stages in its life, including a snapshot from 1949, adding to its historical significance.
